With our region now experiencing milder winters that no longer naturally reduce pest populations, it's more important than ever to keep up with preventive care. In the past, harsher winters helped control fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes, which is one reason why pets didn’t need to visit the vet as often 20 plus years ago. Today, with milder weather conditions, these pests can thrive year-round, increasing the risk of infestations and the transmission of diseases.

Even though this past winter was a bit harsher than recent years, please don't let your guard down. Consistent preventive treatments remain essential to keep your pets safe and healthy.
